Chapter 443 Reverse Extraordinary(1/2)
Voices rang out from the empty platform outside the door.
"I am Thomas Gilbert, here to pay for the mistakes my brother has made." [Note 1]
Thomas Gilbert? Isn’t that the Razorback leader Jack Baldo was talking about last time?
Didn’t Ogami say that he had killed all the Razormen? How come their leader is still alive?!
Chen Yan was not afraid at all at this moment. Ogami's temporary departure allowed him to embark on the path that he had to take on his own - he needed to grow up until he was strong enough to protect everything that belonged to him.
He quietly pulled out the Skylark-300 from his waist and pointed it at the location where the sound came from - right in front of the cat's eye.
His surprising calmness allowed him to think about everything that would happen next - he fired at the peephole, but it would not necessarily cause casualties to the opponent. He could not take the initiative to lose the cover of the [door], so he could take advantage of the opponent's reaction time.
The egret-type egret in his arms, loaded with ammunition, and then guided the other person to speak again, determined the other person's position, and let the person eat a bullet weighing a full pound - even a lion would be killed by this
The gun blew his head apart!
‘Chen Yan, calm down.’
The timely utterance of his wish stopped him from pulling the trigger.
Wish explained quickly:
'There's something wrong with the other party, you can't kill him... To you, he doesn't exist.'
'I saw him... He is very strange, I have never seen anything like him... You can only see him through the naked eye... I'm shocked! It's [Reverse Extraordinary]!'
'I can't see clearly...I want to see again...'
'He carried no weapons...not even a blade under the brim of his hat.'
He did not carry any weapons... This can show that the other party is confident enough, and it can also show that the other party does not want to have a conflict during this trip.
After a brief silence, Chen Yan opened the door.
There was a "person" standing outside the door - at least someone who looked like a person on the surface.
This man looked to be in his 30s, but he didn't have a beard like most Imperial people.
He was wearing a beautiful blue-gray double-breasted woolen coat. The chest of the woolen coat was open, and inside he could see a gentleman's uniform vest with a round wool collar that had been obviously ironed and flattened.
Some respectable people would be ashamed of themselves if they saw a black tie and a white shirt with a mid-collar.
It snowed heavily tonight. This man was wearing a pair of mid-calf lace-up leather boots that clearly looked anti-slip. Black pants with no visible material were stuffed into the leather boots in a comfortable way.
Revealing sophistication from top to bottom.
The most eye-catching thing is his hair - his hair is dark red, which means he has Aiel blood - he is a mixture of Aiel and other ethnic groups.
The color of his eyes is not as blue as Marlena and Gotlind, but rather lighter...a light blue that reveals white.
Children of mixed race between Aiel and other ethnic groups are really... rare.
"Five pounds."
Chen Yan said:
"My kitchen, and the injured tenant, cost you five pounds."
Thomas Gilbert looked at the Skylark-300 pointed at him by Chen Yan. He could not imagine how serious damage such a short pistol could cause. A smile appeared on his originally expressionless face:
"We can go in and talk."
Chen Yan silently turned on his spiritual vision and saw the man disappearing in front of him.
Reverse extraordinary... This may be the reason why Ogami failed to kill him.
He turned off his spiritual vision, and the man appeared in his field of vision again.
"Come in—at least see what the kitchen looks like."
Thomas Gilbert was obviously a decent man. He stamped his feet on the platform and shook off some of the snow on his feet before entering the door of the apartment at No. 33 Walker Street.
He followed Chen Yan to the kitchen. After seeing the damaged part of the kitchen that had not been repaired by the construction team, he actually said an Asian slang:
“If the old doesn’t go, the new won’t come.”
This man is a bit strange, he doesn't talk much, and judging from his expression, you don't know what he is thinking - because he almost only has a "calm" expression on his face.
"Five pounds."
Chen Yan didn't want to talk nonsense to him. It was almost early in the morning, and he just wanted to get the kitchen decoration fee back from this man (although the decoration fee he paid was only a few dozen shillings, it didn't stop him from asking for 5 pounds).
Thomas Gilbert looked at him with his beautiful eyes with long eyelashes and said:
"The market has been very sluggish recently. Everything has become more expensive, and tools that consume gas and coal are no longer available. This means that electricity will soon be available in Yanan City."
Chen Yan said:
"Five pounds."
Thomas Gilbert's calm expression had a hint of coldness:
"We heard that they were going to put a particularly high price on electricity at the beginning.
To be more precise, except for electricity, everything on the market will see a wave of price increases, and citizens will be overwhelmed, but the smart people in the House have already figured out how to deal with it."
Chen Yan said:
"Five pounds."
Thomas Gilbert's eyes became sharp:
"In such a great social change, you can even get everything you want. Five pounds means nothing. You Asians often use 'short-sighted' to mock the Rook merchants of the empire. Now you are like this too?"
Chen Yan still repeated:
"Five pounds."
Thomas Gilbert's breathing paused for a moment.
The expression on his face was extremely calm, but such a calm expression gave people a suffocating pressure.
Chen Yan did not accept his trick and repeated again:
"Five pounds."
A bulge appeared on Thomas Gilbert's cheek for a moment, which was the bulging buccal muscle caused by clenching his teeth uncontrollably.
He looked at Chen Yan with his beautiful eyes. At the same time, he took out a gold-rimmed pen and a small stack of checks from the inside of his woolen coat. While keeping his eyes on Chen Yan, he tore open a check.
Open the pen and write the number "5 pounds" on it and hand it to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan took the check and carefully checked the contents:
The check information filled out with carbon ink is very clear, the seal of "Yannan City Bank" in the issuing unit column is also very complete, the payee column is blank, the amount is written in obvious handwriting "5 pounds", and the payment is due
Until next month——
This is a complete check.
Chen Yan folded the check and put it inside his clothes with satisfaction, and said:
"Okay, our grudges have been wiped out. What did you just say?"
The muscles in Thomas Gilbert's face twitched:
"I'm here to give you an opportunity to make a lot of money, and you only have to pay the cost."
Chen Yan warned:
"What are you thinking about? Really profitable business will never fall on ordinary people like you and me."
Thomas Gilbert felt deeply disgusted with the young Asian man in front of him. He had to visit many "target investors" tonight and had no time to waste time on this person, so he said to him:
"The power of one person is weak, but the power of a group of people is huge. Now I give you a chance. As long as you put in your financial resources and energy, you can get rewards far beyond your imagination."
Chen Yan said:
"tell me the story."
Thomas Gilbert exhaled softly.
He had seen many difficult people, and the Asian man in front of him was obviously one of them.
He had learned to deal with such people when he was young, and therefore had great patience.
He repeated what he said before:
“Except for electricity, everything on the market will see a wave of price increases, and citizens will be overwhelmed, but a group of smart people have already figured out how to deal with it——
They plan to establish a debt system for everyone, so that citizens can pay for everything they need in life without using their own money - people can use this debt system to overdraw the money they earn in the future -
They want to use this system to apply to people, so that everything will be easier to handle, and the riots that are brewing in the lower city will be easily solved."
Ah this!
This gang leader is actually a man with lofty ideals?! He wants to protest against the Yuan? He wants to light a fire!?
Thomas Gilbert's next words shocked Chen Yan:
"If they can do such a thing, why can't we do it?"
"There are always people who are short of money, and these people who are short of money will always borrow money. Instead of borrowing from those smart people's usurious loans, it is better to borrow our low-interest loans - we can be 1 point lower than them. Such loans
